0:00.0	Welcome back to golf subpar with Colt, Nost and Drew Stoltz.
0:13.0	Took an extra day, but the Cognizant Classic is in the books and one of our past
0:16.9	guests. Austin Ekrope picks up his first PGA tour win.
0:21.0	I mean, he put it on cruise control Monday morning and just rolled to a three shot
0:24.9	victory over your new guy Minw Lee I know and Eric Van Royne who played an incredible
0:29.7	round on Sunday absolutely got hosed by the weather. Yeah, without quite.
0:34.0	That's one of the like disappointing things about the entire final round is
0:37.0	Van Royen was having one of those rounds of like you go through your entire career however long on the PJ tour.
0:42.0	There aren't many of those where just
0:43.2	everything's going right. I mean 28 on the front nine makes it just came off the
0:47.6	huge the first time we ran into any problems on the 11th and he makes like a 15
0:51.2	footer for PAR. Sometimes the PAR saves not dropping a shot or bigger than the birdies you're making and then he stripes it down 12 and then bam horn and he's got to go in there, sit around all of a sudden he's in the lead, everything's changed changed he's got to think about it and he goes
1:02.9	back out plays the last seven even par I don't know if he would have won the golf

1:09.1	going to shoot because it's going to be a weird score around a very tough golf course but shout out to Austin
1:14.8	Ekrope man only his 50th start on the PJ tour new resident of Scottsdale
1:19.6	spinning his winners out here obviously he's picked up a few tips along the way but made it
1:24.4	look easy and it was honestly to get your first win on the PJ tour like to come
1:28.7	out on a Monday morning not that many people around conditions perfect soft from the night before. It was kind of like an
1:34.6	ideal world to try to close that thing out as opposed to on Sunday, a little different, all the
1:40.0	feels, all the nerves. Sleeping on the lead again, one extra night kind of sucks but pretty good deal
1:44.0	for Austin and Icro to be able to close it out like that and props to him.
